I think what you’re saying is that you want your system’s name to be set
from the DHCP server. Is that correct?

Check if /etc/hostname  is present and has some value. If so… cp
/etc/hostname /etc/hostname-`date -I` && rm /etc/hostname

Restart networking/reboot and see if that works for you.

Yes, the dhcp server should hand it its name. And hostname only has, IIRC (I'm at home now) localhost.localdomain.
